The EIP on AHA will be organising the European Week of Healthy Ageing, Trieste, 10-12 May 2021, together with Active Assisted Living programmes (AAL) and the Joint Programming Initiative More Years Better Lives (JPI MYBL). Altogether, these three communities represent very well the EIP on AHA quadruple helix (industry, civil society, academia, and government authorities). This will be the framework for the EIP on AHA conference of Partners, the AAL Forum, and the JPI  MYBL Annual conference.

The AAL programme has launched the Call for Workshops for this event:
